Building Bastrop County
Community First

How Your Family Benefits

High-value commercial development means the county's bills are paid by the corporate tax base, not by you.

Your Property Taxes

For years, Bastrop's rapid residential growth meant families were carrying the tax burden alone. Bringing in hyperscale commercial infrastructure completely flips the equation.

Your Career

Your student doesn't have to leave Bastrop to build a great career in tech.

  • 60+ permanent high-skill roles ($70K-$120K) per data center facility
  • 400-600 construction jobs per phase across multiple simultaneous projects
  • Massive vendor multiplier: local security, landscaping, HVAC, and catering contracts
  • Film industry growth generating local post-production and hospitality demand

Growth Without the Strain

A data center is not a factory. It does not trigger mass in-migration. It brings massive revenue with a fraction of the headcount—meaning stronger schools and stable property taxes with no housing crisis and no traffic explosion.
